One Paddle Short of a Lock

An amusing, realistic portrayal of the eclectic mix of colourful boating characters who occupy the fictitious Crockenhill Marina. Albeit fictional, all of the characters are based on people the author has met over the years, from the three wise men (been there, seen it, done it) to the laundry room gossips and London escapees. This is a must read for all lovers of people watching; a through the keyhole insight into the variety of human nature at work and play.
